Stop giving yourself an out!

Yesterday was hard. The day before that was a complete disaster! No one could understand me. I could not form a complete thought.

In frustration, I utilized my ” phone a friend option and 📞 called a friend.

I cried. I cried some more. She listened. She didn’t offer to make the call for me. I chose to give myself permission to put hard down for the rest of the day and try again the next day.

Next day, I tried again. It took  a thousand calls and a year’s worth of aggravation but I got the job done.

Then, I did not want to get up, get dressed, and get outside for walking. It was 🔥 hot. Already! Still, I got up, got dressed, and kept it moving. My Physical Therapist offered to let me only do one lap

I did NOT take the out. In fact, beloveds, for punishment, I made myself walk farther!

I told myself that I would NOT give myself an out. I chose to try.  I had no idea how much I could do. I ended up walking almost 950 feet

For me, those 950 feet may as well have been ten miles. Whew. As I walked I was cheered on by a neighbor was on a walk of her own

I didn’t feel disabled. For the first time, beloved, I felt 👍 👌 like me.

Legally, I am now classified as disabled.

Yet, I AM able. I am capable. I am ready. I am more than a conqueror!

We must hold ourselves accountable. Stop giving yourself an out! There are no excuses.  There are no victims here. Choose to try. Give it your 👌 best effort,  okay 👍?
